Dynamic Response of Nano Spherical Shell Subjected to Termo-Mechanical Shock Using Nonlocal Elasticity Theory
In this paper, we present an analytical method for
analysis of nano-scale spherical shell subjected to thermo-mechanical
shocks based on nonlocal elasticity theory. Thermo-mechanical
properties of nano shpere is assumed to be temperature dependent.
Governing partial differential equation of motion is solved
analytically by using Laplace transform for time domain and power
series for spacial domain. The results in Laplace domain is
transferred to time domain by employing the fast inverse Laplace
transform (FLIT) method. Accuracy of present approach is assessed
by comparing the the numerical results with the results of published
work in literature. Furtheremore, the effects of non-local parameter
and wall thickness on the dynamic characteristics of the nano-sphere
are studied
Nonlinear Dynamic Responses of a Honeycomb Sandwich Plate Subject to Transverse Excitations
Nonlinear dynamic behaviors of a simply supported honeycomb sandwich plate subjected to the transverse excitations are investigated in this paper. Based on the classical thin plate theory and Von Karman large deformation theory, the governing equation of motion for the honeycomb sandwich plate is established by using the Hamilton principle. The nonlinear governing partial differential equation is discretized to the ordinary differential equations by differential quadrature method and then solved by Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method. Based on the numerical simulations, combined with nonlinear dynamic theory, the influences of the frequency and amplitude of the transverse excitation are investigated respectively by using the bifurcation diagrams, Poincare maps and phase portraits. The results exhibit the existence of the period-1, period-2 and chaotic responses with the variation of the excitations, which demonstrate that those motions appear alternately

Three dimensional vibration and bending analysis of carbon nanotubes embedded in elastic medium based on theory of elasticity
This paper studies free vibration and bending behavior of singlewalled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) embedded on elastic medium based on three-dimensional theory of elasticity. To accounting the size effect of carbon nanotubes, non-local theory is adopted to shell model. The nonlocal parameter is incorporated into all constitutive equations in three dimensions. The surrounding medium is modeled as two-parameter elastic foundation. By using Fourier series expansion in axial and circumferential direction, the set of coupled governing equations are reduced to the ordinary differential equations in thickness direction. Then, the state-space method as an efficient and accurate method is used to solve the resulting equations analytically. Comprehensive parametric studies are carried out to show the influences of the nonlocal parameter, radial and shear elastic stiffness, thickness-to-radius ratio and radiusto-length ratio
The Effect of Flipped Classroom on Iranian EFL Learners\' Speech Act Production: Does Flip Type Make a Difference?
This study investigated the effect of two types of flipped classroom on the Iranian upper-intermediate EFL learners' appropriate use of refusals, apologies and requests. The participants of the study included 60 upper-intermediate EFL learners from a language institute in Tehran, Iran. The participants were selected based on convenience sampling in the form of three intact classes. Then, the three classes were randomly assigned to three groups namely, traditional flipping group, debate-oriented flipping group and non-flipping group. The three groups were exposed to 14 treatment sessions. Speech act instruction was offered to the flipping groups through explicit flipped instruction and to the non-flipping group through explicit non-flipped instruction. Moreover, a Multiple Choice Discourse Completion Test (WDCT) was administered to the participants to measure their speech act production ability at the pre-treatment and post-treatment, phases of the study. The results revealed that both types of flipped instruction had a significantly positive effect on the EFL learners' use of the speech acts (F=10.622, p<.0.05; F=19.358, p<.0.05; F=18.785, p<.0.05). Accordingly, EFL teachers are recommended to use flipping methods in an attempt to enhance EFL learners' appropriate use of speech acts
